Ministry of Traffic to tackle illegal publicity and propaganda

WILLEMSTAD - The Ministry of Transport and Traffic will once again try to remove illegal publicity and propaganda along the roadside. Legislation has been in place since 2015, but it is not yet very successful.

Owners of illegal propagandas have two weeks to remove them themselves. If they don’t comply, the government will do it and charge those responsible for the costs.

The government has advised that they will continue the propaganda removal effort to cut down on the amount of visual contamination in the streets of the island. They have asked that publicity firms and property owners help by not allowing illegal advertisements to be posted in unauthorized places.
